Malnutrition Malnutrition—come from extended inadequate intake of nutrient or severe illness burden on the body composition and function—affect all systems of the body surgery team
Types of malnutrition Kwashiorkor: (kwa-shior-kor) is protein malnutrition Marasmus: (ma-ras-mus) is protein-calorie malnutrition “overall malnutrition” surgery team
Kwashiorkor Protein malnutrition - caused by inadequate protein intake in the presence of fair to good calories intake in combination with the stress response Common causes - chronic diarrhea, chronic kidney disease”b/c there will be leaking out of protein”, infection, trauma, burns, hemorrhage, liver cirrhosis “b/c the liver can not synthesis any protein so, we have a –ve protein ” and critical illness surgery team
Clinical Manifestations Marked hypoalbuminemia Anemia Edema and ascites Muscle atrophy Delayed wound healing Impaired immune function surgery team

Risk factors for malnutrition Medical causes Psychological and social causes surgery team
Medical causes (Risk factors for malnutrition) RRecent surgery or trauma SSepsis CChronic illness GGastrointestinal disorders AAnorexia, other eating disorders DDysphagia RRecurrent nausea, vomiting, or diarrhea PPancreatitis IInflammatory bowel disease GGastrointestinal fistulas surgery team
Psychosocial causes AAlcoholism, drug addiction PPoverty, isolation DDisability AAnorexia nervosa FFashion or limited diet 1g Alcohol = 7 kcal surgery team
Consequences of Malnutrition Malnutrition places patients at a greatly increased risk for morbidity and mortality Longer recovery period from illnesses Impaired host defenses Impaired wound healing Impaired GI tract function surgery team
Cont: Muscle atrophy “in renal diseases and liver cirrhosis” Impaired cardiac function Impaired respiratory function Reduced renal function mental dysfunction Delayed bone callus formation Atrophic skin surgery team
Results: Of the 5051 study patients, 32.6% were defined as ‘at- risk’ At-risk’ patients had more complications, higher mortality and longer lengths of stay than ‘not at-risk’ patients. International, multicentre study to implement nutritional risk screening and evaluate clinical outcome Sorensen J et al ClinicalNutrition(2008)27, “Not at risk” = good nutrition status “At risk” = poor nutrition status surgery team
Metabolic Rate Long CL, et al. JPEN 1979;3:452-6 Normal range Patients with major burn, their metabolic rate is very high so, they consume a lot of calorie and u have to replace these calories or u will end up having a malnutrition.. Same thing with sepsis and trauma patients surgery team
Protein Catabolism Long CL. Contemp Surg 1980;16:29-42 Normal range Also here patients with major burn, trauma or sepsis their protein catabolism or consumption rate is very high, and u have to give extra amount of protein or otherwise the body will catabolize his self and people will end up with malnutrition surgery team

BEE Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR) or Basal Energy Expenditure (BEE) accounts for the largest portion of total daily energy requirements surgery team
Total Energy Expenditure TEE (kcal/day) = BEE x stress/activity factor surgery team
BEE The Harris-Benedict equation is a mathematical formula used to calculate BEE surgery team
Harris–Benedict Equations Energy calculation Male BEE = 66 + (13.7 x actual wt in kg) + (5x ht in cm) – (6.8 x age in y) Female BEE = (9.6 x actual wt in kg) + (1.7 x ht in cm) – (4.7 x age in y) surgery team
A correlation factor that estimates the extent of hyper-metabolism 1.15 for bedridden patients 1.10 for patients on ventilator support 1.25 for normal patients The stress factors are: 1.3 for low stress 1.5 for moderate stress 2.0 for severe stress for burn surgery team
Calculation Our patient Wt = 50 kg Age = 45 yrs Height = 5 feet 9 inches (175 cm) BEE = 66 + (13.7 x actual wt in kg) + (5x ht in cm) – (6.8 x age in y) = 66 + (13.7 x 50 kg) + (5 x 175 cm) – (6.8 x 45) =66 + ( 685) + (875) – (306) = 1320 kcal TEE = 1320 x 1.25 (normal activity) = 1650 kcal surgery team

Calories 60 to 80% of the caloric requirement should be provided as glucose, the remainder 20% to 40% as fat To include protein calories in the provision of energy is controversial surgery team
surgery team
Fluid The average adult requires approximately ml/kg/d NRC* recommends 1 to 2 ml of water for each kcal of energy expenditure *NRC= National research council Fluid replacement either: Weight distributed1-2ml/kcal expended surgery team
Fluid 1 st 10 kilogram 100 cc/kg 2 nd 10 kilogram 50 cc/kg Rest of the weight 20 to 30 cc/kg Example: Our patient 1 st 10 kg x 100cc = 1000 cc 2 nd 10 kg x 50cc = 500cc Rest 30 kg x 30cc = 900cc total = 2400 cc surgery team

The nutritional needs of patients are met through either parenteral or enteral delivery route surgery team
surgery team
surgery team
Enteral The gastrointestinal tract is always the preferred route of support (Physiologic) “If the gut works, use it” EN is safer, more cost effective, and more physiologic that PN surgery team
Potential benefits of EN over PN Nutrients are metabolized and utilized more effectively via the enteral than parenteral route Gut and liver process EN before their release into systemic circulation Gut and liver help maintain the homeostasis of the AA pool and skeletal muscle tissue surgery team
EN (Immunologic) Gut integrity is maintained by enteral feeding and prevent the bacterial translocation from the gut and minimize risk of gut related sepsis surgery team
Safety ”complications” Catheter sepsis Pneumothorax Catheter embolism Arterial laceration surgery team
Cost (EN) Cost of EN formula is less than PN Less labor intensive surgery team
Contraindications Gastrointestinal obstruction Severe acute pancreatitis High-output proximal fistulas Intractable nausea and vomiting or osmotic diarrhea v. imp surgery team
Enteral nutrition (EN) Long-term nutrition: “like in esophagus cancer” Gastrostomy Jejunostomy Short-term nutrition: Nasogastric feeding Nasoduodenal feeding Nasojejunal feeding surgery team
surgery team
Intact food Predigested food surgery team
We can’t use polymeric food in patient with naso doudenal or nasojejunal b/c there will be no breaking down of the food by stomach, but we need a predigested”monomeric” food for them.. U never ever start feeding a malnurished patient with full calorie >> start gradually surgery team
TF = tube feeding surgery team
surgery team
Purpose To maintain positive nitrogen balance through the intravenous administration of required nutrient such as glucose, IL, AA, electrolytes, vitamins, minerals and trace elements Patients who didn’t eat for 4-5 days u have to feed them PN first surgery team
PN Goal Provide patients with adequate calories and protein to prevent malnutrition and associated complication PN therapy must provide: Protein in the form of amino acids Carbohydrates in the form of glucose Fat as a lipid emulsion Electrolytes, vitamin, trace elements, min surgery team
surgery team
General Indications Requiring NPO > days Unable to meet all daily requirements through oral or enteral feedings Severe gut dysfunction or inability to tolerate enteral feedings. Can not eat ”intestinal restriction”, will not eat ”nausea & vomitting”, should not eat ”pancreatitis” surgery team
Special Indications (can not eat) surgery team
Cont: When enteral feeding can’t be established After major surgery Pt with hyperemesis gravidarum Pt with small bowel obstruction Pt with enterocutaneous fistulas (high and low) surgery team
Cont: Hyper-metabolic states: Burns, sepsis, trauma, long bone fractures Adjunct to chemotherapy Nutritional deprivation Multiple organ failure: Renal, hepatic, respiratory, cardiac failure Neuro-trauma Immaturity surgery team

Diabetic DM is not contraindication to TPN Use sliding-scale insulin to avoid hyperglycemia surgery team
surgery team
Central PN (TPN) Central PN (TPN) is a concentrated formula and it can delivered large quantity of calories via subclavian or jugular vein only Peripheral PN provides limited calories surgery team
There are two types of enteral nutrition: 1. Central: through subclavian vein or jugular vein for pt who needs a lot of calories. 2. Peripheral: through peripheral veins for pt who needs limited calories because of the osmolarity surgery team
Parenteral Nutrition Central Nutrition Subclavian line Long period Hyperosmolar solution Full requirement Minimum volume Expensive More side effect Peripheral nutrition Peripheral line Short period < 14days Low osmolality < 900 mOsm/L Min. requirement Large volume Thrombophlebitis surgery team
Note PPN can infuse through central line but central TPN can NOT infuse through the peripheral line surgery team

Complications Associated with PN Mechanical complication Septic complication Metabolic complication surgery team
Mechanical Complication Improper placement of catheter may cause pneumothorax, vascular injury with hemothorax, brachial plexus injury or cardiac arrhythmia Venous thrombosis after central venous access surgery team
Infectious Complications PN imposes a chronic breech in the body's barrier system The mortality rate from catheter sepsis as high as 15% Inserting the venous catheter Compounding the solution Care-giver hanging the bag Changing the site dressing surgery team
Metabolic Complications Early complication -early in the process of feeding and may be anticipated Late complication - caused by not supplying an adequate amount of required nutrients or cause adverse effect by solution composition surgery team
